iOS 16 annoyances

[badgolferman]

I updated my work iPhone 11 to iOS 16 and immediately noticed two
things which are annoying.

a. The clock font on the Lock Screen is too thick. I don't see how to
change that.

b. The notifications are stacked at the bottom of the screen. I
changed the setting in Notifications to List but nothing changed, they
are still at the bottom.

Any suggestions welcomed (except from Jolly Roger).

the lock screen can now be customized, however, it's currently not
obvious how to do that.

while viewing the lock screen, touch & hold until the lock screen
editor appears, then click customize, where you can then change the
font/colour, add widgets and/or create new lock screens.

that's because there are now user configurable widgets where
notifications used to appear.

another reason is because it's less intrusive to obscure the bottom of
the lock screen photo. note that depending on the photo, the clock is
shown *behind* the subject so that it doesn't obscure it.

Can't really change the width of the clock. I'm amazed iOS won't offer
an analog clock for the lock screen.

I don't care about widgets and I don't use them. I'd rather see as
many email notifications as I can get so I don't have to open the
Outlook app to view them.

don't rule them out so soon.

some of them can be useful, such as the weather and battery widgets.
others not so much, but there will be many third party widgets coming
soon.

to further clutter up the lock screen are live activities, which are
coming in 16.1, including sports scores, uber status, etc.

you still can, they're just at the bottom.

Because analog clocks "suck". :-p

It's far far easier to see the time on a digital clock than to bother
trying to work out which is the "big hand" and which is the "little
hand" (something that can be near impossible on many analog clocks with
really stupid designs).

It's a lock screen, so you purposely won't see any emails because it
needs to keep privacy if someone else "finds" your phone. You will see
how many and possibly a vague hint like "new email from paul".

Actually not really, excepting that I do take your point about badly
designed clock faces and hands. If you use analogue clocks all the
time, as everyone used to do of course, a quick glance at the clock and
you just automatically take in what the time is without any conscious
effort. Also the calculation of at least approximate time periods is
automatic to a regular analogue clock user.

Really like the analog clock on Android. It's very classy.

There is a way to do this on the iPhone and iPad but you have to
Jailbreak the device, see
<https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/01/18/analog/>. So wait for the iOS
16/iPadOS 16 Jailbreak if you really want this feature.

It would be nice for iOS to have an analog clock on the lock screen that
looked just like the Apple Watch face. Maybe in a future rev of
iOS/iPadOS we'll see this feature, unless there are patent issues that
are the reason why it's not available on iOS and iPadOS. There are a lot
of seemingly obvious features that have been patented by one company or
another. It was interesting to read an article that explained why
Apple's own 5G modem will be delayed
<https://www.business-standard.com/article/technology/apple-s-internal-5g-modem-that-phase-out-qualcomm-causes-legal-issues-122070100049_1.html>.

I added this to the document <https://tinyurl.com/iOS-Android-Features>
as #190a on page 89. Whenever there's a Jailbreak Tweak that provides a
feature or capability you can be pretty sure that there's significant
demand for the feature.

there are no patent issues for using an analog clock.

no there aren't.

that has nothing to do with a clock and everything to do with
qualcomm's long standing predatory business practices.

If analog clocks suck why does Apple have one on the Clock app? I
assume there is one on the Apple Watch as well. Yet they can't provide
an option in the clock preferences to display an analog clock on the
lock screen? They provide a 24-hour clock function which I use and
surely far less people use that than people who would use the analog
clock.

I find analog clocks easier to read because I'm looking at what the
time is in relation to the top or bottom of the hour. Almost
everything which I need to use a clock for is scheduled for the top or
bottom of the hour. It's easier to see that there's about ten minutes
to eight than calculating 7:48 in relation to 8:00. Maybe if you're a
millennial and don't know how to read an analog clock I would
understand your disdain for them. Hopefully someday you will realize
not everyone thinks like you do.

[sms]

Your Name is wrong of course™.

An analog clock is actually easier to see the time on, at least if you
know how to tell time on an analog clock!).

"Analog watches gives an "impression" of time. The big picture but
really quickly. They use a visual concept, a graphic symbol of time. In
digital timepieces, they works by intellectualizing a numerical concept
of time."

The Apple Watch defaults to an analog watch face, though you can choose
a digital watch face if you want. The same capability to choose which
kind of clock face you want should be available on the iPhone.

This is what my Galaxy Note 9 looks like with an analog clock:

Stop insulting millenials! Most know how to read a clock.

[ABLE1]

Hello,

This conversation has proven to be very beneficial to me.

I help maintain synchronized clocks in an old school. The original
clock sync controller took a hit a number of years ago and I replaced
it with a newer model that has Internet connection to keep the clock
sync in tune with the rest of the world. The clocks in the classrooms
are 120 volt analog about 12" in diameter. As the old clock motors or
other mechanisms wear out and the clock stops or won't sync when it
gets the signal from the controller (120 Volt for about 7-8 seconds)
I then get a call and instead of trying to find the bad part and replace
it, I find it much easier to just replace the clock with a new unit with
newer operating components. Of which a micro fuse has blown and I have
installed a new fuse to fix that issue.

BTW I sell the old non-functioning clocks on eBay. With the comment that
I guarantee this clock to be 100% accurate 2 times a day!! :-)

Anyhow the reason I find this conversation useful is that a few months
ago I overheard the Principal make a comment and a face of disgust about
the clocks as if he was not pleased with them. At the time I just
brushed it off as a young educator that needed to make a snotty comment.

Then I was concerned that something was wrong with the clocks sync or
something. But when I am there all the clocks that I might look at
are right on time.

HOWEVER I NOW UNDERSTAND HIS PROBLEM!!
He does on know how to read Analog Clocks!!
Or finds them challenging to his brain.

ROFLOL Thanks!! I would not have figured that out on my own!!!

It certainly is thicker but I prefer the new one.

There is some way to change the font of that I saw somewhere.

You definitely can change the font width, since there are several fonts
from which to choose - here's a screenshot from my iPhone:

Not can't but choose not to, presumably because the lock
screen is now rather tight with widgets and wall paper etc.

It isnt a question of how many want it, the problem is
that an analog clock uses more space to still be useful.

Got one thanks, unlike you.

[sms]

LOL, kind of agree, but the new clock font _is_ actually a little
annoying. Aesthetics and Human Factors should matter, especially to Apple.

It would be nice if you could at least change it from white to black if
you have a light background on your lock screen. Maybe there's a way to
do this but I haven't found it. I changed my lock screen to a darker
color. I created a custom lock screen with "if found" information, since
unlike Android, there is not yet support in iOS to put contact
information on the lock screen, see <https://i.imgur.com/usmYh9k.jpeg>.

And of course an analog clock option would be great!

I was able to switch from the weird font it started with. I actually like
the lock screen tweakability. And I customized the color-scheme to resemble
a purplish Ubuntu splash screen.

I have widgets for battery and my alarm clock. I imagine they will expand
on this feature.

I love analogs. I have a large one on my home screen and would put one on
my lock screen too if made available. I come from a generation old enough
to remember telling time the old fashioned way before digital clocks addled
brains.

That didn't work, that was the first thing he tried. Hopefully powering
down the hearing aid will solve the problem. Others have said that
powering down the hearing aid by putting it in the charger solved the
problem.

[badgolferman]

I use Signia hearing aids and use the iOS controls more than the app
itself. Hopefully they aren’t affected but I will wait a while before
upgrading on my personal phone. Thanks for the notice so I can follow up on
this.

very much so. it's easy for app developers to create their own widgets,
especially for those who already have existing apple watch
complications.

I actually think the changes really make my lock screen pop visually. I
never thought I’d say that about something so seemingly trivial.

Yes there is.

Its in the settings for the lock screen, which makes sense.

Wouldn't fit on most customised lock screens.

A. It was a joke, hence the poking tongue smiley (I know, there are a
bunch of morons who have no idea what smileies mean and believe
every piece of text ion the internet is 110% fact).

B. I can read analog clocks and used them for years, but a digital
clock is simply far easier and quicker to read accurately ...
especially on a clock you haven't seen before (if it's your own
clock, then you seen it every day and know which hand is which) or
with some inane analog clock designs that make the hands look
virtually identical.

Thanks. Actually it's in the setting for wallpaper. There is no setting
for the "lock screen."

Depends how you customize it. The Jailbreak Tweak for an analog clock
looks fine <https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/01/18/analog/>.

His iPhone did not see the hearing aid's Bluetooth, it wasn't an app or
iOS controls that were the problem. He got it working by shutting down
the hearing aid by putting it in the charger then rediscovering it with
Bluetooth from the phone.

[badgolferman]

If he still has trouble have him try this solution. Apparently this has
been reported since iOS 15.4.

I don't see settings/lock screen.

Are you pontificating from a real old iphone or ios version, again?

already explained in another post.

from the lock screen, tap/hold to bring up the editor, where you can
customize fonts, colours, widgets, photos and more, with multiple lock
screens that can easily be changed, including via focus modes.

I have never had to work out which hand is which, because
I always know roughly what the time is and am just checking
the clock for a more accurate time.

The wallpaper is one of the setting for the lock screen.

That only works when there is nothing else on the lock screen and
that small analog clock isnt as easy to read as the new digital one.

[Hank Rogers]

Thanks.
How do I get to those fonts settings?

I see only the different background images, and a VERY small
selection of widgets.

third party developers can create their own widgets so expect that to
change.

Thanks. If I tap the clock, I can change it's font. They are all
pretty similar though. I guess this is what you were taking about.
I can't change any other fonts, like for the widgets.

that's probably because your newsreader does not properly handle links.

the image is from the first link above, but it sounds like you were
able to change the fonts.

No, it's the customize for the lock screen where you select the font for
the digital clock.

But there is a customize.

I'm always surprised how many psychopaths are active in english speaking
groups. Identity-thefts like *Burnelli* and schizophrenic chameleons
like *Rod Speed* are just the tip of the iceberg. *SMS* is a harmless.
These people are in a way obsessed because a little over a dozen people
try to convince each other of irrelevant issues despite its impossibility.

But all these people serve the purpose of destroying the newsgroups they
are posting in. It is a pity.

It's frankly *amazing* how inept the trolls are in this newsgroup.

[*Hemidactylus*]

I have found the scrolling in iBooks to be annoying in that it is all too
easy to trigger an unwanted bookmark. Seems some arbitrary placement or
gesture of my thumb does it and the whole thing is an unwanted distraction.
I never noticed this before iOS 16 as much as I read books on iBooks and
wish this arbitrary bookmark triggering would cease and desist as it
triggers me.
